Instruments and Experimental Techniques volume 65, pages 865–877 (2022)Cite this article

Abstract—

Application-specific integrated circuits of DIE8 (ATLAS, CERN), NINO (ALICE, CERN), and PADI (CBM, GSI) amplifiers−discriminators have been designed specifically for applications with resistive plate chambers, a new type of multichannel detectors. The main development trends formed during the creation of new, large-scale experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are shown. The main characteristics of the integrated circuits, the motivation for setting the design task, problems, and application features are compared.
